One way to create a boot disk is as follows:
dd if={Kernel Image} of=/dev/fd0
The resulting boot disk can then be reconfigured using "rdev"
if it is from a system with a different root partition than
the one being rescued.
There are tools to create more sophisticated boot disks, but
this method works quickly and is distribution independent.
